Hey, I've got 3 times more HP points than mana. That makes me an uber-hero.

It is clerics and druids that typically heal, not mages.

I don't think the new stats contribute to the Poly experience.

Also, I have now had three "server too busy" since this started and I haven't seen that for weeks.

Not very happy with this change we are, my young apprentice.

If one of these stats would reflect the average number of words (excluding quotes) in each post you make then it would be far better IMO. But then again this is just the opinion of a level 7 nothing.

Most people didn't seem to mind about postcount or were positive about it, so I don't see why it should be any different with this latest addition.

Besides, Markos is a statistics freak, so chances for removal are pretty low either how.

They're hidden as well as the post-counts is. And I'm sure Markos will allow us to view the members' top 20 of the highest level and most hitpoints very soon.

Mark, please reconsider these stats.

1. The site is visibly slowed down now.

2. The Hit points and levels are silly.

3. Now that they are in profile, people will rarely see them or even worry about them...thus they are not worth slowing the site down for...

If you really need these stats for your own interest, just run periodic inquiries (i.e. get reports from) the database. But don't bother slowing the site down with all these extra queries for each poster every time they post.

the slow down is unrelated to the stats

I haven't noticed much of a slowdown actually.

GP, I'm against postcount tout court, but I know it won't go away, so I guess you could just as well offer some variation.

I think they're interesting, but slightly out of place for a Civ site, considering no Civ game uses these type of stats yet.

1. If that is really true, than I have no objection. (since I don't have to see the dorky numbers any more...) I just need some more info before I beleive you. I remember too well the discussions about the server and tracerts and all that stuff where Asher was right and Dan was wrong.

2. What is the prognosis for fixing the slowdown?

Attack, defense, movement and hit points? Seems basic stuff since civ2.

1. I am also noticing more problems with losing my posts. (I type a long post and I lose it cause it doesn't go to the thread.) I wonder if this is related to the stats or to the "x-factor" which is causing the slowdown.

2. Mark in the MOO forums, you said we where ready to ahndle loads like we had with the Civ3 release. I wonder if this is really true. Given the slowdowns we are seeing, now. I'm concerned about how we will handle the PtW crowds.
